Meet Canon’s New Sumire Prime PL-mount Lens Collection

Canon brings its Sumire Prime collection to PL-mount with seven new lenses.

Previously only released for Canon’s EF-mount, Canon has dropped news that they will introduce a new Sumire Prime collection for PL-mount which will include seven lenses ranging from 14mm to 135mm.

This is big news for full-frame and Super 35mm PL-mount cameras looking for more high-end options from the Canon collection. The new primes have the same minimized breathing, balanced color, 11-blade iris, and bright T-stops.
